From property manager to asset manager: Closing the value gap
Linda Rudd, CEO, Realside
Property managers protect value. Asset managers create it. But the best-performing assets rely on both.
So what can commercial property managers learn from the asset management mindset?
Linda Rudd will explore where property management and asset management differ, how the two disciplines complement each other and where value is really created.
Drawing on a career that has taken her from commercial property management to leading asset and investment management businesses, Linda will explore how property managers can broaden their skills and perspective to contribute more strategically to the performance of the assets they manage
